J Vasc Surg Cases Innov Tech. 2017 Nov 2;3(4):218-220. doi: 10.1016/j.jvscit.2017.08.003. eCollection 2017 Dec.

Abstract

A 43-day-old boy presented with bacteremia after umbilical artery catheterization. Duplex ultrasound examination revealed a 1.1- × 1.6-cm mycotic infrarenal aortic aneurysm and an incidental asymptomatic occluded right common iliac artery. Resection and repair were completed by creating an everted, double-layered internal jugular vein patch. Screening ultrasound examination 10 months postoperatively demonstrated successful repair.
